Vacation: An Aerial View

While in Branson, my dad wanted to take a helicopter ride over the city. Planes, I can handle. Helicopters, they make me nervous. But, I sucked it up and didn't let on that I was nervous at all. And, I must say, I am glad I did.

Our pilot was friendly and really enjoys what he does. We got to fly over the strip, the dam, and the lake. It was so cool! I sat in the back because the front seat only had a little half door. This means that my dad could have stuck his arm out the window. He didn't, though. He's smart sometimes. :)

This was an incredible experience, even if it was a little expensive. Our flight only lasted about 7 minutes. I can't really describe this flight much, except that the turns sometimes made me a little dizzy. We ended up being about 1500 feet in the air. I will just leave you with some pictures I took while up in the air. Enjoy!
